I also know what loss is: letter

I sympathize with Mrs. DiNardo for her loss, but I too have lost the love of my life at age 52. I was left with three young children to raise, ages 9, 10, and 15. He never got to see them confirmed, graduate and never walked his first daughter down the aisle or got to be a grandfather of three boys. He died a slow death for 1 1/2 years of cancer with no help from the JCPD other than his pension. He would have been so proud of his children and to see what they have become. There were many a day I wondered if he would be back, but that was the profession he chose so you just prayed every day. I could go on with the wonderful things he has done in his life for others, but life goes on.
